[PATCH bpf-next 0/6] Add BTF_KIND_FLOAT support

[Ilya Leoshkevich <iii@linux.ibm.com>]

Some BPF programs compiled on s390 fail to load, because s390
arch-specific linux headers contain float and double types.
    
Introduce support for such types by representing them using the new
BTF_KIND_FLOAT. This series deals with libbpf, bpftool, in-kernel BTF
parser as well as selftests and documentation.

There are also pahole and LLVM parts:

* https://github.com/iii-i/dwarves/commit/btf-kind-float-v2
* https://reviews.llvm.org/D83289

but they should go in after the libbpf part is integrated.

v0: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20210210030317.78820-1-iii@linux.ibm.com/
v0 -> v1: Per Andrii's suggestion, remove the unnecessary trailing u32.

Based on Alexei's feedback [1] I'm proceeding with the BTF_KIND_FLOAT
approach.
